"Home is where you mom is." :-)
Together Susan and I shared last night with my mom. Medicine every 2 hours along with adjusting the bed & other things to keep mom comfortable. Mom is not in pain... and for that we are very thankful. Today there were loving visitors all day surrounding mom with song, prayer, words, hugs & kisses. From morning until bedtime Monte, Emily, Brent, Nancy, Curt, Nancy, Susan, Sonja, Darla, & friends Clara, and Marilyn all were here. Hospice also came by 3 times for any assistance. Mom is still in a continuous sleep but it's obvious things are changing. :-( This is a journey and we are here to walk with mom. Even those that can't physically be with us are in this room in spirit. We can feel it. Tonight my Aunt Sonja will spend the night with me and mom. Curt & Nancy decided to stay over until tomorrow morning as well.
In addition to being by mom's side...we've all been looking through scrapbooks. I just love this photo of my mom. It might be my favorite... I love her beautiful smile and eyes!

Mom & Dad.
Love.
Sharing these pictures makes me feel I knew your mother, dad, and your siblings.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you feel that way. Going through scrap books and photos on our computers has been nice - brings back special memories. I especially love the photos of my mom as a young woman and newly in love with dad. So sweet!
